Description

Our adventure began, as is often the case with this kind of project, with a chat over a drink. All more tipsy than the last, but with a common resolution: “Let’s make our own web browser!”.

Once half sobered up, we decided to start by choosing the right Javascript engine. The V8 engine is our first choice, as it has the advantage of being open source. Your task today is to check, using the git patch and the supplied executable, that everything is in order. To solve the challenge, we need to read the flag.txt file.
